Back! With a stockpile!

I've been gone.  Not for any particular reason.  A little bit of nothing to write about, a little bit of frustration about my imagined sense of blogger manner, and a little bit of being lazy.

I am back now though.  That's what matters!   And, what better way to come back then by showing off my new little hobby.

COUPONING!! Click the jump :)

Oh Hey Willpower, I Didn't Know I Had You in Me!

I have completely defeated the sweets so far!  Before this little adventure, I had assumed that I didn't have willpower.  That perhaps I just didn't have it in me to ditch the sweets.  But, I so, totally, do!  I rock!

Granted it has only been 5 days so far; but, rumor has it that the first 10 days are supposed to be the worst.  I've also learned a bit since this little diet change started.

Delicious "Breadsticks" and A Sweets Fast

I made a delicious new recipe for garlic bread sticks this weekend.  I got it from Cheeky Kitchen and oh my goodness were they heavenly.  They were also super easy to make! 

You need:
2 cups of water
1/4 cup sugar
A packet of yeast
3 +/- cups of flour
1 tsp. garlic power (I double that but we <3 garlic)
1 tbsp. sea salt
1 stick of butter
&
a bit of fresh parsley if so inclined.

Home Again, Home Again

I've been absent this week due to being in a funk.  Yes, a funk.  Not the super fun James Brown kind, but more of the I don't want to do ANYTHING kind. 

Why you ask?  My hubby has been out of town for a week!  Before this week we'd spent all but maybe a handful of nights apart since we became a couple.   Suddenly, I was on my own for a week and of course I missed him, but I was on high alert for the last week.  Especially in the evenings.  Because, I'm a scardey cat.
